At the end of the 1900s, Jean-Louis Geniest grouped together the family vineyards to create the Mas Saint Louis estate. The acquisition and renovation of the Maison Vigneronne in 1909, in the Clos district of Châteauneuf du Pape, accelerated the development of the estate, which began to vinify its harvests.
Louis Geniest, Jean-Louis' grandson, took charge of acquiring new parcels of vines and exchanging others in order to harmonize the vineyard. The Mas Saint Louis estate now covers more than 30 hectares in a single block.
This work was then taken over by his son Jean and now by his wife Monique who manages the Domaine Mas Saint Louis, with a concern for respecting the soil and the crops.

   Tasting notes:

Garrigue, sage and ripe fruit, the nose evokes the South. Round on the attack, the palate seduces by its chewiness, its generosity and its grainy tannins, a little rough on the finish, which leave the memory of a Chateauneuf of character, traditional in inspiration. A great wine to keep!
